Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Reynolds American.

Interview

Upon applying they responded fairly quickly to schedule a phone screen. This consisted of several behavioral questions which typically prefaced with "Tell me about a time...". I was then moved on to the "Virtual Job Tryout" which I think was unfortunately my fate as I am no longer being considered by the company.

Interview

Several phone interviews and if you successfully pass those they will fly you to where they are currently having panel interviews, they pay two meals, wonderful hotel, and flight. Interview is with several high executives two in two different rooms one to focus on the star format the other to focus on the leadership. You spend 35 minutes in each room then they send you off.

Interview

Phone interview with outside contractor (worst). I had forgotten the salary range which is pathetic but had hoped there would be some wiggle room. Despite having 15 years experience in the industry in a similar role the max salary was $47k. If they expect to attract top talent at that rate of pay they are mistaken particularly when their main competitor will offer up to $65k (northeast) for the same role. I declined to continue the process as I could not meet my fixed cost of living expenses at the pay rate they offer.

Interview

Initial phone screen interview with recruiter. From there you are given a video interview to film yourself answering questions. You are then scheduled to do a day on the trade. That is where you spend the day with a territory manager in your area and learn about the position. From there you are flown to a location for a panel interview, where you will meet with two groups of three people. They ask all sorts of behavioral type questions. They have specific things they are looking for. I have had experience working in the tobacco industry, and was not given an offer, so I am not sure exactly what they wanted to hear.

Application

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Reynolds American (San Jose, CA) in January 2018.

Interview

Applied online, got a call and phone interview with a recruiter , and i was updated that there is no more DOTT(Day on The Trade) where you ride with a TM and see how the job is like. I was also asked as to what happened when i first applied(this is my second application). I told the recruiter that it was most probably an issue with willingness to relocate which i still answered no to. This only proves that for an applicant to make it you have to be 100% willing to relocate or no matter how good you are with the interview , you will not move on in the process.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Reynolds American (Greensboro, NC) in November 2017.

Interview

I was very encouraged by the quick response in the beginning.

I had two interviews back to back and now all follow up calls have gone unanswered.

Also, the job description provided when applying for the role was nothing close to what the phone interview detailed.

I was so excited to get a call from Reynolds now I'm feeling let down that no response has been received from my inquiries.

30 minute in person interview, then two 45 minute panel interviews. My impression is that the most important things are competence and genuine interest in the position.

Application

I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Reynolds American (Chicago, IL) in August 2017.

Interview

Extensive interview process, started with a pre screen phone interview with recruiter, then DOTT (Day on the trade) This is where you go out with a current TM and DM and see what the job entails. Be sure to stay engaged and ask plenty of questions! They want to know that you are truly interested in the position. Also, be sure to emphasize (when they ask) your willingness and ability to relocate. (Major quality they are looking for) DO NOT THINK YOU ARE TRYING TO SHOWCASE YOUR SALES SKILLS. The DOTT is meant to provide you with an in depth look at the job.

If you make it past the DOTT, they will schedule you for a panel interview in the city nearest you. They will fly you out and pay for your airfare and hotel. This is a suit and tie interview at this stage, so make sure you look your absolute best. Most likely you will run into a few other people interviewing for the same position. THEY ARE NOT YOUR COMPETITION. Engage them, and talk.

Make sure you do your homework in prep for this interview, including but not limited to, company history, behavioral interviews, the 5 p's, and the tobacco industry in general. Answer all questions in STAR format, and most importantly, just be yourself. If you try and fake it, they will spot it. This is a behavioral interview, so prepare for that.

You will interview will a total of 4 high level executives, 2 in each room, and they will split the leadership dimensions and go into each one of those.

After the panel you should hear from the recruiter within 48 hours. If you get a call it means you got an offer, and if not, you'll most likely get a thanks but no thanks email.

Good luck!
